About Me

I cut down trees. I skip and jump. I like to press wildflowers.
I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars.

You are Your!

You are a very possessive person. You also detest small vertical lines, and as such, apostrophes and quotation marks make you listless and uneasy.

Because you use two less characters when spelling this word, some may call you lazy, but since you are getting the job done faster, you're actually increasing your productivity by 33 percent. Well done.

Which commonly misused word are you?
born on The Day of the Incorrigibles Unlike most people, those born on Oct 4 simply live their lives and behave the way they wish to. Though they often present an agreeable and charming persona, they have an inner toughness that is the product of negotiating a less than perfect world.
October 4 people have a unique if not eccentric view of the world. Yet when they share their ideas with others, they are more often than not accepted, appreciated even loved for their idiosyncrasies. Perhaps this is because they themselves enjoy people and partake freely of everthing society has to offer.
Danger holds a great attracton for Oct. 4 people.
The current terror threat level is:
I learned it from you, dad!!
I learned it from watching you.

Movies:

Hover mouse over quote for movie title

ok, stupid myspace decided to disable the Title property of HTML elements, so the hover portion is no longer working. please be patient while I come up with something else that's equally clever.
